Out of boredom I gave it another go for a hour, Famitsu game it a few 7 out of 10 and a 8 out of 10, but then they also rated Sonic Riders highly and a few other dud games.
Its your cliched bog standard RPG, the same as any other pre-32 bit console RPG, nothing new, totally generic. dull story, characters you've seen a million times before. Its not terrible, it could be fun if your are a die hard RPG gamer, but its not something anyone should buy. Lacks heart and imagination. And I've already forgotten where I left the game, what I was doing infact I was playing Tetris in my head I got so bored.
